Just a few minutes....

2007. Quite a year. Lots happened. Lots didn't happen. Some wins, some losses.

Happy new year ye faithful denizens of New Internetia.

I fell a bit short this year. That's not pessimism or a scathing self-critique. Just a point of interest like telling yourself about an untied shoelace or maybe that you were a bit out of tune during the latest concert. No sweat. I'm young. There's time. Now if I wasn't so impatient!

Resolutions... Lose 10 pounds? join a gym? connect with an inner child? give to charity? eat better? buy war bonds? find religion? find philosophy? start a revolution? report a communist? protest the war? report thoughtcrime? find a vocation? find oneself? get a haircut? grow a beard? cut trans fats? stop global warming? be more honest? be patient?learn humility? go vegan? be less selfish? care more? get a thicker skin? wear sunscreen? dance? be more sensitive? save the whales? save the dolphins? save the earth? do yoga?

Bollocks I say. How about just finding one single thing that makes me this happy:

I've looked. Midnight forest snowfalls come close. Flannel pajamas and hot chocolate before bedtime comes closer but.... I'll keep looking.

2008: In pursuit of Grappelli's smile.
